Chapter 6: Fireproof-The National

~•^*^•~Aleks POV~•^*^•~

We all pile into my car with Eddie driving, Whitney in the passenger seat, Jake in a window seat, giving me the other window because I actually didn't want to drive. We all sit in comfortable silence before the song Wrecking Ball comes on.

"AWW SHIT!!" Eddie exclaims and cranks up the volume. We all sing along  softly until we all scream out,

"I CAME IN LIKE A WRECKING BALL!!!" Sly giggles uncontrollably which made everyone else join in. I sigh trying to catch my breath wishing Elaine was with us and we weren't meeting her with Bryan. While everyone else keeps singing along, I sit in silence looking out the window while the rain patters against the car. After what felt like forever, the song ends and Eddie looks up at me through the mirror. He smiles sympathetically at me and looks back to the road. It takes about 10 more minutes to get there before we pull into the parking lot to see Elaine and Bryan in their car laughing and giggling about something. I couldn't help but scowl at the sight. We all get out of the car and meet up with the couple.

I glance back at Elaine and Bryan who are holding hands while so caught up in each other they seem to ignore the others around them. It doesn't help that every time I see them together it makes me want to rip out his throat. We all walk in, pay for a lane and grab our shoes. Then we all enter in our names which was all silly ones of course. Eddie's was Slyfox, Jakes was Jakeybabs, Whitney's was Whitness, Elaine's was ElaineAF, mine was Immortal, and Bryan's was FijiBoi which I didn't understand but it causes Elaine to erupt into a fit of giggles. In my opinion, Bryan's name should have been Dickhead. I told Sly and he snickers causing Elaine to send us daggers as if she knew exactly what we were thinking. Bryan leans into her and nudges her nose with his in order to kiss her, making my jealousy get to me. Why can't she notice me. I love her and she doesn't even realize it. Eddie bowls first and knocks down a few pins. When he bowls again he gets a gutterball because Elaine shouted something at the last minute to throw him off. He walks off shamefully and plops down in his seat, grapping a piece of pizza to eat. Elaine goes next and I hear Bryan say,

"Don't screw up." What a douche. She walks past me and I smile. I stood up and whispered,

"Don't listen to him, you'll do great. He is being cocky." She smiles once more at me and grabs her ball and bowls. The screen above us shows a giant Strike skit and Elaine raises her arms in success. She runs back doing a victory dance while giving me a high five and then runs over and kisses Bryan on the cheek.

We play about 4 full games of Bowling and we all spent the time laughing and eating lots of food. At some point I was able to get Elaine to sit on my lap in order to keep me from getting the last slice of pizza. I taze her on the side of her stomach causing her to double over laughing. As I look over towards everyone else, Bryan scowls at me.

"I'm hungry! Babe get more pizza please." Elaine exclaims. Bryan sighs and gets up. I hear Elaine whisper,

"Finally." I chuckle and feel her smile against my skin. Elaine kisses my shoulder as I run my hands through her hair. Bryan comes back with another pizza and everyone grabs a slice including Elaine. As soon as she's about to take a bite, I bite it instead.

"Hey! You little bitch!" She smacks me with her free hand and ate angrily. She moves to another chair and attempts to glare at me but ends up bursting out laughing. After the fifth game ends, I see Elaine and Bryan walk off into another direction, Bryan has his hand gripping firmly on her arm and forcefully leading her to a seperate room. I wait like 10 seconds then decide to move towards them.

"Eddie I'm going to the bathroom." I get up and head to the bathroom but then move to where they are and listen up against the door.

"Elaine. Come on." I hear Bryan huff out.
